Too Much Fun? No Such Thing.

It was another wonderful weekend. We took off Friday morning for Omaha, where our caravan (Nana & Papa, Chris, Alisa, & Asher, and Us) met up with Erica, the girls, and their special guest Noah. The kids get so excited every single time they see each other. It never gets old.

We spent the afternoon swimming at the Coco Key Waterpark. It was loads of fun (too bad I forgot my camera to prove it!). There was a great little kid area where the three-year-olds and Layla played and played and played. The adults took turns watching kids, being with our own families, and doing our own fun slides and swimming as well. It worked splendid. Dallas and I even got to sit in the hot tub together, alone. Holler!

We ventured in the icky snow that evening to Mark and Erica's new home. It was great to see where they live and the community.

Saturday we went to the children's museum. It was super sweet! The kids, again, played for hours. We went for a little drive to check out Lincoln, then back to Mark and Erica's for game playing, supper, and hanging out.

The best part of the trip was Saturday evening. Erica, Alisa, and I went to Michael's until they closed the door, then to Carlos O'Kelley's until they, also, shut the door. They were vacuuming around us. We didn't care. It was a great night together, laughing so hard we were crying. We talked about childhood memories, our families, and on and on. I have many wonderful, wonderful friends. But there is nothing like time with my sisters.

We left Sunday morning, driving like banshees to get home in time to bring in the kids, feed Charlie boy, go potty, and leave for small group! It was hard to get there, and we felt completely burnt out. But as always, we were so glad we sucked it up and went. Small group evenings never fail to bless us and give us the boost we need into the week.

So here we are, a Monday. And have I mentioned how much I love Mondays? Strange, I know. After all the fun weekends bring, snuggling back in with the cubs and getting back into routine is always welcome.
